The Mary and Tom as well as Improving's Jef Newsom are attending the Kaizen Conference in Austin next week. I wish I cold be there, but I guess you can't spend all your time going to conferences, right? At least I got to see Jef's presentation at Improving last week. It was hilarious.

I'm sure many already know this since I've been lax about blogging lately, but here's some pretty cool (somewhat new) news.

If you have Visual Studio Team Edition for Developers and an MSDN Premium subscription, you can download the Team Edition for Database Pros, too. I love the features in DBPro. Every development team should use database script refactoring, data generation, source control of scripts, and schema comparisons. Then you can get away from the shared development databases that screw up the environment when one developer changes something. Check it out!

There have been rumors floating around, but now it's finally official. The AgileDotNet Conference 2008 website has been posted and is ready for registration. The details are behind the link, but it's hosted at Microsoft in Irving, TX on Nov 14th, 2008 and has breakout sessions for developers, project managers, requirements analysts, and quality assurance engineers. Space is limited, so register soon!
